Tamika Catchings Quotations

We both kept doing our thing. . . . I just think it's part of the game.

She hit that shot when we needed it.

One of the coolest things is when he gets together with guys he played with, Bob Lanier and people like that, and they talk,

From that first day to where we are now, we have grown so much, ... And we have the potential to be an even better defensive team.

I think it's motivation that we made it this far. Everybody always doubted us. We've never gotten the respect the Indiana Fever deserve for all the hard work we've put into it.

We played really well defensively. We had those early steals that led us into our offense. We want to make it to the playoffs. Once we make it we'll have a good opportunity.

We can be happy tonight, but tomorrow we have to come back and get back to business. Everyone has to stay mentally focused.

When they beat us in New York, they were so physical. We were just getting beat up. We knew they were going to beat us up again tonight. We just had to keep attacking, and make them do something different.

We knew we had to go on the boards. We've been slipping a little bit the last couple of games. One of the things we talked about is we got to get on the boards ... try to create more looks.

We came in really composed. Last time we came in here, they blew us out.

We got killed on the boards, Cheryl Ford, Ruth (Riley), Plenette (Pierson), Swin (Cash) everyone killed us on the boards.

Yes, we've had a great season, and some nights we pack them in and some we don't, but people are still getting a feel for us. We've only had that one home playoff game (before this season, in 2002). The more we win, the more people will come.

Unbelievable. Kelly Miller has hit a couple this year for us. Just as long as it doesn't happen again.

You look at him as a complete player,

Coming of losses to good teams - Connecticut and Washington -- we knew we needed this one. We want homecourt for the playoffs and that means we have got to take care of business at home or on the road.

This is the growing stage. We need to remember, we're still the pioneers.

That really propelled us in the second half. We got some easy shots early in the second half, and we finally got going.

But, hey, we love our fans just as much, ... It doesn't matter if we have a big crowd, a small crowd. Tonight it felt like a big crowd.

I'd go to sleep tired, I'd wake up tired.

The Liberty have more size, with Baranova, Wauters and Christon. Between those three, they can pretty much switch everything because they all play the 3, 4, and 5.

And it's like, 'That's what I'm doing now. The things he talks about, that's what we're doing.' Instead of getting frustrated, that's the way we have to think about it -- that we're the ones who are helping to build this league. Hopefully, the league will be around for lots of years, and someday, when I'm old, I can come back here with my own daughter -- I hope -- and tell her, 'Yeah, back when I played, we only made this amount of money.'
